Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xazhinzinklim Xwuqichiklozcxh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anatoly Bogdanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xwuqichiklozcxh comes to the ring accompanied by I vill snap you . Bogdanov has chosen "Shark Ethic" by Most Precious Blood as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that Xazhinzinklim Xwuqichiklozcxh has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Xazhinzinklim Xwuqichiklozcxh seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
