Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ichioka Kaori (ranked 485 p4p, 760 weight class) and Hiroshima Nagasaki (ranked 73 p4p, 114 weight class). Kaori comes to the cage accompanied by GOZEN. Nagasaki has chosen Ground Zero (MOP) as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ichioka Kaori has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ichioka Kaori seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
