PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose comes to the cage accompanied by Another One Bites The Dust. Hopkins has chosen Public Enemy - Shut 'Em Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Rose has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Rose seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
