PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ignatius Reilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menace comes into the arena with Leroy Brown blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Phantom Menace has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Phantom Menace seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
