Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Richard Nixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sven Dufva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nixon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Upsetters - Dread Lion. On his way into the cage it seems that Richard Nixon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Richard Nixon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
