PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Mont Alvernne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mont Alvernne is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song. On his way into the cage it seems that Stephen Hawking has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stephen Hawking seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
