Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kermit Earlandson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Horton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Earlandson's entrance music is the theme from titanic. A fine choice. On his way into the ring it seems that Kermit Earlandson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kermit Earlandson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
