PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kuli Feia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Early (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feia's entrance music is Roots Bloody Roots. A fine choice. Early comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Taste of Ink" by The Used kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Kuli Feia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kuli Feia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
