PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane Fergusson (ranked 480 p4p, 721 weight class) and Danny Braxton (ranked 55 p4p, 89 weight class). Fergusson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Scotland the brave. On his way into the cage it seems that Shane Fergusson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shane Fergusson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
