PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Elay Arson (ranked 4071 p4p, 2309 weight class) and Timmy Flowers (ranked 478 p4p, 296 weight class). Arson's entrance music is ALIEN WEAPONRY - Kai Tangata. A fine choice. Flowers has chosen You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire by Queens of as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Elay Arson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Elay Arson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
