Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Colin Millen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Captain Caveman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Millen comes to the cage accompanied by Da Strike!. Caveman has chosen Captain Caveman Intro as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Colin Millen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Colin Millen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
