Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gordon Hammet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drone's entrance music is t.i and ludacris-wish you would. A fine choice. Hammet comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Finger Eleven - Slow Chemical kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Tyson Drone has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tyson Drone seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
