PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peter Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hideo Sakurai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin comes to the cage accompanied by Get Low. Sakurai has chosen Freestyle - Don't Stop The Rock as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Peter Griffin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Peter Griffin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
