PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Priest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emeka Shakur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shakur has chosen Tatanka - Africa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Priest has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Priest seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
