Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Ezekyle Abaddon (ranked 3133 p4p, 153 weight class) and Bunt Jernit (ranked 20535 p4p, 341 weight class). Abaddon comes to the ring accompanied by Vengeful One. On his way into the ring it seems that Ezekyle Abaddon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ezekyle Abaddon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
