PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Khal Drogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Goban Declan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drogo comes to the cage accompanied by Tribes song. On his way into the cage it seems that Khal Drogo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Khal Drogo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
