Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pwnasaurus Rex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaiser Soze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rex's entrance music is The Forest. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Pwnasaurus Rex has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pwnasaurus Rex seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
