Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juvintude DeNomee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niko Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think DeNomee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm country. Reynolds comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lights Out - Bobby Light kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Juvintude DeNomee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Juvintude DeNomee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
