PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Mundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Probert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Probert has chosen lunatic fringe as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ben Mundy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ben Mundy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
