PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kreator - Extreme Aggressions. Smith has chosen Kanye West - Power as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Thompson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Thompson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
