Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kain Mack (ranked 403 p4p, 630 weight class) and Jesse Pinkman (ranked 57 p4p, 88 weight class). Pinkman has chosen DLZ by TV on the Radio as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kain Mack has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kain Mack seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
