PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rod Brave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Todd Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brave's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eco, Eco (somos de taleco). Parker has chosen Machine Gun - Commodores as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rod Brave has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rod Brave seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
