PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maester Ochu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Achilles Leonidas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leonidas is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Best of Me. Maester Ochu had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Maester Ochu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Maester Ochu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
