Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Scarface (ranked 1212 p4p, 146 weight class) and The Sigit (ranked 430 p4p, 70 weight class). Scarface comes to the cage accompanied by Blinded By Lights. Sigit comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gie kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Dexter Scarface has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dexter Scarface seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
