PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sonny Crockett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jay Chou - General/Checkmate. On his way into the cage it seems that Pao Ling has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pao Ling seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
