Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mike Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khali Kumtomanee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Kumtomanee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Allah Allah Praise be Allah kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Barnes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Barnes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
