PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dominoe Knocks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabby Obertan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knocks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ultimate beatdown - into pieces. On his way into the ring it seems that Dominoe Knocks has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dominoe Knocks seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
