PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dan Benson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shingo Tanaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benson's entrance music is Mobb Deep - Shook Ones. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Dan Benson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dan Benson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
