PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Norman Bates (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles de Gaule (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bates's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dance Hall Days. de Gaule has chosen Amsterdam by Jaques Brel as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Norman Bates has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Norman Bates seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
