PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Enting Butikol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Method Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Butikol might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Man has chosen Wu-Tang Clan-METHOD MAN as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Enting Butikol has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Enting Butikol seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
