PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quan Raiden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Gimmick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raiden's entrance music is Boss Battle. A fine choice. Gimmick has chosen Six Feet Under - War Is Coming as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Quan Raiden has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Quan Raiden seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
