PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Mangold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steele's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cinderella Man. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mangold's choice of entrance music: Dead Prez . On his way into the cage it seems that George Steele has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily George Steele seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
