PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gavin Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timmy Rowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Firebreather" by Thrice. Rowe has chosen Fight Music as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Gavin Myers has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gavin Myers seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
