Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Leeroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yo-Landi Vi$$er (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leeroy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boondocks Theme Song. Vi$$er has chosen Enter The Ninja as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bruce Leeroy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bruce Leeroy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
