Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karate Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dixie Normous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kid comes into the arena with Kung Fu Fighting blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Karate Kid has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Karate Kid seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
