PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rip James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Ladin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the cage accompanied by The Ultimatum. Ladin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Highway to hell kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Rip James has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rip James seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
