Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between D.C. Benny (ranked 619 p4p, 673 weight class) and Paavo Talvela (ranked 74 p4p, 85 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benny might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to D.C. Benny - Unagi Standup Bit. Talvela comes into a darkened arena with his song building. For Heavy Metal we will die! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that D.C. Benny has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily D.C. Benny seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
