PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Justin Credible (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blake Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wallace has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Justin Credible has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Justin Credible seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
