PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carver McNulty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choke Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNulty comes into the arena with Still I Rise - Shadows Fall blaring out of the sound system. Liddell has chosen Intro - DMX as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Carver McNulty has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carver McNulty seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
