PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Reach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Stonedberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reach's entrance music is Here's Johnny. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Reach has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Reach seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
