PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kermodian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Carolla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kermodian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum. Carolla has chosen Gotta Get It On from Taboo 2 as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mark Kermodian has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mark Kermodian seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
