PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Latrobe Arundel (ranked 1 p4p, 65 weight class) and Matteo Boretti (ranked 1 p4p, 10 weight class). Arundel comes to the cage accompanied by Shook Ones. Boretti has chosen Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Latrobe Arundel has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Latrobe Arundel seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
