PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rian MacFarlane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacFarlane's entrance music is The Foggy Dew. A fine choice. Parker has chosen Battery - Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rian MacFarlane has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rian MacFarlane seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
