PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Goldberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hadley Doane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goldberg's entrance music is GOLDBERG. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Doane's choice of entrance music: Step Up- Drowning Pool . On his way into the cage it seems that Bill Goldberg has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bill Goldberg seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
