PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carter Wright (ranked 1049 p4p, 969 weight class) and Hakeem Adderley (ranked 148 p4p, 131 weight class). Adderley has chosen Genesis as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Carter Wright has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carter Wright seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
