PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Poncho Villa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Dignam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Villa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In One Ear. Dignam is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Ruler's Back. On his way into the cage it seems that Poncho Villa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Poncho Villa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
