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