PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Bass (ranked 690 p4p, 711 weight class) and Darry Curtis (ranked 103 p4p, 106 weight class). Bass's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Down With The Sickness. Curtis has chosen Stevie Wonder - Stay Gold as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ronnie Bass has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ronnie Bass seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
