PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duggan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bitch!!! Where you been. Monk is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lil Wayne. King Carter. On his way into the cage it seems that Jim Duggan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jim Duggan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
