Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donnie Dark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hassan Ozdemir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ozdemir is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Rap. On his way into the cage it seems that Donnie Dark has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Donnie Dark seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
