Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sparing Bjj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mibu Kyoshiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bjj's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 50 cent feat. eminem, cashis & lloyd banks - You don't know. Kyoshiro has chosen You're The Best Around as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sparing Bjj has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sparing Bjj seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
