PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grant Alyoshin (ranked 233 p4p, 324 weight class) and Jim Bob McDonald (ranked 36 p4p, 45 weight class). Alyoshin comes to the cage accompanied by Video killed the radio star. McDonald has chosen Ray Wylie Hubbard - Redneck Mother as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Grant Alyoshin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Grant Alyoshin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
