Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viiksi Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Turd Ferg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tolonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kid Rock - American Bad Ass. On his way into the cage it seems that Viiksi Tolonen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Viiksi Tolonen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
