Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rolos Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ximena Loca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes into the arena with Big Shit Poppin' blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Rolos Jackson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rolos Jackson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
