Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ed Valquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Houston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Houston has chosen Born of a Broken Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ed Valquez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ed Valquez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
