Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Kruger (ranked 10 p4p, 1 weight class) and FannyPack SissyPants (ranked 32 p4p, 2 weight class). Kruger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter The Spingbok Ninja. The crowd seem to be enjoying SissyPants's choice of entrance music: Scooters. On his way into the cage it seems that Dustin Kruger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dustin Kruger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
