Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Pigeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abed Nadir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pigeon comes to the cage accompanied by Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nadir's choice of entrance music: M.A.S.H Theme. On his way into the cage it seems that Harry Pigeon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Harry Pigeon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
