PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Verson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dog kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fan of Marrizle and CC - What I Want. On his way into the cage it seems that Crazy Dog has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Crazy Dog seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
