Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mieczyslaw Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Fonzarelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grabowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hit Em Up. Fonzarelli has chosen Eminem - When I'm Gone as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mieczyslaw Grabowski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mieczyslaw Grabowski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
