PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Victor Banuelos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Foul Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Play is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Simon Says-Pharaohe Monche. On his way into the cage it seems that Victor Banuelos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Victor Banuelos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
