Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wambam Inakan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Django Flash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Inakan's entrance music is Slap U Around. A fine choice. On his way into the ring it seems that Wambam Inakan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wambam Inakan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
