Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dick Destruction (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Canadian Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Destruction comes into the arena with Earth Sized Microwave by Japanese Torture Comedy Hour blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Dick Destruction has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dick Destruction seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
