PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damian Roshan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roshan comes to the cage accompanied by The Cranberries-Zombie. Hart has chosen Hide Your Tears as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Damian Roshan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Damian Roshan seems to be OK!
