PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Sutherland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sutherland has chosen 2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jesse Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesse Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
