Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jairzinho Teixeira (ranked 1571 p4p, 2310 weight class) and Edward Mills (ranked 204 p4p, 287 weight class). Teixeira's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Eye of the Tiger. Mills has chosen Rock the Dragon. Dragonball Z as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Jairzinho Teixeira has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jairzinho Teixeira seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
