PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rasta Fary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Story (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fary might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to El toro guapo. On his way into the cage it seems that Rasta Fary has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rasta Fary seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
