PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eleomar Cabbat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big John (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cabbat's entrance music is U KNOW I GOT THAT. A fine choice. John has chosen Jimmy Dean - Big John as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Eleomar Cabbat has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eleomar Cabbat seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
