PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henderson comes to the cage accompanied by Jay Z- Big Pimpin. Sensei has chosen Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Henderson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Henderson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
