PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ima Yerface (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Constantinides might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War by Judas Priest. Yerface is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: In Flames - Like You Better Dead. On his way into the cage it seems that Ares Constantinides has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ares Constantinides seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
