PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gegard Mousasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Callahan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Callahan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Get the Funk Out Ma Face. On his way into the cage it seems that Gegard Mousasi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gegard Mousasi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
