PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnar (ranked 949 p4p, 129 weight class) and John Rydeland (ranked 1009 p4p, 136 weight class). Ragnar comes to the cage accompanied by Shook Ones II. Rydeland comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Robbery - Not sneak attack kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Bjorn Ragnar has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bjorn Ragnar seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
