Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mike Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donaldo Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Henderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to American Bad Ass. Souza comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sex Dwarf kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the ring it seems that Mike Henderson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Henderson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
