PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Bomber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bomber might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Notorious Thugz- Notorious B.I.G ft Bone Thugz N' Harmony. On his way into the ring it seems that Sergei Bomber has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sergei Bomber seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
