PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Basket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Redmond Barry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Basket's entrance music is Bill Gates. A fine choice. Barry has chosen Slayer - Raining Blood as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Basket has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Basket seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
