PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between The Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ratt Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy's entrance music is Old Spice Guy Intro. A fine choice. Hughes has chosen Country boy can survive as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that The Guy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily The Guy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
