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