PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joaquin Fortunado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gerry Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fortunado's entrance music is Stairway to Heaven. A fine choice. Kelly has chosen Alternative Ulster - SLF as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Joaquin Fortunado has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joaquin Fortunado seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
