PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hoban Washburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Corrida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Washburn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Magic Carpet Ride. Corrida comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shadowhunter kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Hoban Washburn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hoban Washburn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
