PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Josh Aldarisio (ranked 3178 p4p, 3592 weight class) and Malcolm King (ranked 369 p4p, 405 weight class). King has chosen YoungBoy Never Broke Again – White Teeth as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Josh Aldarisio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Josh Aldarisio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
