PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yasha Big Mouth (ranked 229 p4p, 563 weight class) and Charlie River (ranked 16 p4p, 41 weight class). Big Mouth's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bigmouth Strikes Again. River has chosen Waylon Jennings - I've Always Been Crazy as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Yasha Big Mouth has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yasha Big Mouth seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
