Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Pesanioco Noguerio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Vitali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Noguerio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Moneytalks -ACDC. Vitali has chosen Cain's entrance theme as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Carlos Pesanioco Noguerio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carlos Pesanioco Noguerio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
