Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Double Espresso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyril O Reily (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Espresso comes to the ring accompanied by Puttin' it down like its 1987!. On his way into the ring it seems that Double Espresso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Double Espresso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
