PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinny Tamaso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Pops (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tamaso's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Comin to your city. On his way into the cage it seems that Vinny Tamaso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vinny Tamaso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
