PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Harry Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rickson Nandos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cole's entrance music is Skid Row - 18 And Life. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Harry Cole has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Harry Cole seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
