Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Chester (ranked 1279 p4p, 2017 weight class) and Conor Aldo (ranked 151 p4p, 232 weight class). Chester kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rolling, Limp Bizkit . Aldo has chosen The Foggy Dew as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Charles Chester has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charles Chester seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
