PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rich Engles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Engles kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DMX- Bring Your Whole Crew. Green is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Transplants - Romper Stomper. On his way into the cage it seems that Rich Engles has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rich Engles seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
