PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hector Pelano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Dimagiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pelano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Wanna Be Somebody by WASP. On his way into the cage it seems that Hector Pelano has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hector Pelano seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
