PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rage Phillips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Mongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mongo has chosen Blitzkrieg Bop as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rage Phillips has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rage Phillips seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
