PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matt Sabre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chan has chosen Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Matt Sabre has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Matt Sabre seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
