PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Denton Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsuyoshi Nakayama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Who let the dogs out?. Nakayama has chosen The Vapors - Turning Japanese as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Denton Jackson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Denton Jackson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
