PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy West (ranked 946 p4p, 145 weight class) and Joe Walcott (ranked 655 p4p, 106 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think West might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mastodon - Sleeping Giant. Walcott has chosen The Way Of The Fist as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Billy West has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Billy West seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
