Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jari Jutila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Jardine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jutila comes into the arena with The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter blaring out of the sound system. Jardine has chosen WEED MAN as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jari Jutila has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jari Jutila seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
