Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ed Wuncler Iii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Dynamo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wuncler Iii comes to the cage accompanied by Smooth Operator - Sade. Dynamo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sunrise (Here I Am) by Matt Davey feat. Kate Dowman. On his way into the cage it seems that Ed Wuncler Iii has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ed Wuncler Iii seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
