PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Panzer Grenadier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Crier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grenadier comes to the cage accompanied by Esaka '96. Crier is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Red Hot Chili Peppers - Get On Top. On his way into the cage it seems that Panzer Grenadier has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Panzer Grenadier seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
