PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Craven Moorehead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orion Cook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moorehead's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Me So Horny - 2 Live Crew. On his way into the cage it seems that Craven Moorehead has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Craven Moorehead seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
