PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Benson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Khabilov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mantis-Snapped. On his way into the cage it seems that James Benson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily James Benson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
