Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jay Wilkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yogi Dhamma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilkins comes to the cage accompanied by Sans Pression - Numero 1. Dhamma comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Power Of Soul kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Jay Wilkins has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jay Wilkins seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
