PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raoul Duke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and big hardon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duke's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bury Me With It. hardon has chosen Ameno as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Raoul Duke has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Raoul Duke seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
