PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dougie Diablo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Walsh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walsh has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Dougie Diablo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dougie Diablo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
