Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James King (ranked 1489 p4p, 2712 weight class) and Andre Koefti (ranked 131 p4p, 226 weight class). Koefti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by IZ - E Ala E. On his way into the cage it seems that James King has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily James King seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
