PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Doors - Peace Frog. Savage has chosen Bon Jovi - It's my life as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Walker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Walker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
