PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Camacho (ranked 2011 p4p, 1808 weight class) and Richard Cheese (ranked 243 p4p, 225 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Camacho might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hero Of War - Rise Against. Cheese has chosen Rape Me as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jermaine Camacho has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jermaine Camacho seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
