PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nate Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Turnbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Turnbull is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Never To Late. On his way into the cage it seems that Nate Barnes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nate Barnes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
