PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Ignatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Reach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ignatov comes to the cage accompanied by Fler-Ghetto Beat. Reach is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rich Like Me. On his way into the cage it seems that Vladimir Ignatov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vladimir Ignatov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
