PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bill Cosby (ranked 2605 p4p, 2004 weight class) and Dylan Graves (ranked 272 p4p, 208 weight class). Cosby's entrance music is Cosby Show Opening. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Bill Cosby has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bill Cosby seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
