PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dante Exterberra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Gibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gibbs is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman -- Metallica. On his way into the cage it seems that Dante Exterberra has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dante Exterberra seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
