Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kendall Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Nasty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas comes to the cage accompanied by Blow The Whistle By Too Short. Kendall Thomas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Kendall Thomas has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kendall Thomas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
