PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mingo Deems (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Untaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Untaka is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze. On his way into the cage it seems that Mingo Deems has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mingo Deems seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
