Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chu Ho Soon (ranked 1485 p4p, 866 weight class) and Batang Kock (ranked 160 p4p, 42 weight class). Ho Soon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Carl Orff - O Fortuna. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kock's choice of entrance music: I will axe kick you, and I am not careful.. On his way into the cage it seems that Chu Ho Soon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chu Ho Soon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
