PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mabuku Haluku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Lawler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haluku's entrance music is beast and the harlot. A fine choice. Lawler has chosen Fuck Authority as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mabuku Haluku has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mabuku Haluku seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
