PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Josh Wentworth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kristofir Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wentworth's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Spitfire by The Prodigy. Wright has chosen You're Going Down - Sick Puppies as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Josh Wentworth has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Josh Wentworth seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
