PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Red Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sanford and Son. Harvey has chosen E-17 "Deep" as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Red Fox has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Red Fox seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
