Ramadan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Positive Vibration. Brophy has chosen JME - The Very Best as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Arjuna Ramadan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arjuna Ramadan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
