PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Hale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hale kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dead Sara - Weatherman. On his way into the cage it seems that Brandon Hale has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brandon Hale seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
