PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ron Culerovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Martinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinsson has chosen Queen - Another One Bites The Dust as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ron Culerovich has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ron Culerovich seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
