PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jay Jakobz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dario Mancinelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jakobz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RSP feat. Thomax - Nordaførr. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mancinelli's choice of entrance music: Captain Jack - Captain Jack. On his way into the cage it seems that Jay Jakobz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jay Jakobz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
