Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kim Jong Un (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rastaphan Dominatrix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jong Un comes into the arena with Aegukka blaring out of the sound system. Dominatrix comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Trenches" by Pop Evil kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Kim Jong Un has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kim Jong Un seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
