Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alec Dimanche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dimanche kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 835 - SLAPDASH. Peppers has chosen Wanton Song -- Led Zepplin as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Alec Dimanche has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alec Dimanche seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
