PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus Jonsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonsson has chosen Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that JD Scott has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily JD Scott seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
