Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johann Kessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Four Loko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kessler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coal Chamber - Burgundy. Loko has chosen marry yourdaughter as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Johann Kessler has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johann Kessler seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
