PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Heero Yuy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lewis McLay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yuy comes to the cage accompanied by Coma Black - Marilyn Manson. McLay is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "The Party Song" by Blink 182. On his way into the cage it seems that Heero Yuy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Heero Yuy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
