PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bj Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rimmey Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Heavier than metal. Watson has chosen Pantera: Walk as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bj Penn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bj Penn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
