PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Colin Burton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barry Mashburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Crying Game - Professor Green. On his way into the cage it seems that Colin Burton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Colin Burton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
