Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muhammad Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Loholt Pendragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward comes to the cage accompanied by Feel The Music by Guru. Pendragon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Game of Thrones. On his way into the cage it seems that Muhammad Ward has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Muhammad Ward seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
