Undercard bout

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