PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Theron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olivier Aubin Mercier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aubin Mercier is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Classified - Oh Canada. On his way into the cage it seems that Charlie Theron has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charlie Theron seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
