PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tito Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blake Ravre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ortiz comes to the cage accompanied by Mosh By Eminem. Ravre is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sandstorm-Darude. On his way into the cage it seems that Tito Ortiz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tito Ortiz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
