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