PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rmarkas Fletcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikola Tesla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fletcher comes into the arena with Keep on Lovin Me Baby by Colin James blaring out of the sound system. Tesla has chosen AC/DC's Thunderstruck as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rmarkas Fletcher has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rmarkas Fletcher seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
