PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antona kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Laid to Rest by Lamb of God. Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by All the Above- Maino ft. T-Pain. On his way into the cage it seems that Aydine Antona has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aydine Antona seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
