PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffson Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dog kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zombie. Gracie comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cliff Richard - Summer Holiday kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Crazy Dog has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Crazy Dog seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
