PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominic Vincent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vincent has chosen We Will Rock You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Jim Franklin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jim Franklin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
