Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dickus McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tuma Krapala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGee comes into the arena with Change (In the house of flies) blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Dickus McGee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dickus McGee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
