Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Techno Viking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kanye West - I Don't Like (Remix) Feat. Pusha T, Chief Keef, Big Sean, & J. On his way into the ring it seems that Brandon Hunter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brandon Hunter seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
