PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Logan Danforth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erik Redd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Redd has chosen BIG SHIT POPPIN TI as his entrance music. Redd 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 Logan Danforth has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Logan Danforth seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
