PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wesley Shutes (ranked 559 p4p, 1362 weight class) and Tyson Asakura (ranked 88 p4p, 191 weight class). Asakura has chosen JJBA - Giorno's Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Wesley Shutes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wesley Shutes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
