PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Fatu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiny Tim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fatu comes to the cage accompanied by Umaga. Tim is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hot In Herre - Nelly. On his way into the cage it seems that Eddie Fatu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eddie Fatu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
