PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between RP McMurphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monster Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McMurphy comes to the cage accompanied by I'm a Solider - Tupac. Hero has chosen Super Glad - Laki-Laki as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that RP McMurphy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily RP McMurphy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
