Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chimpo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dace Killian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chimpo comes to the cage accompanied by On The Darkside. Killian has chosen Bare & Mark Instinct - Murder Machine (ft. Dieselboy) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Chimpo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Chimpo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
