PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Borg Bunting (ranked 1407 p4p, 54 weight class) and Ichabod Crane (ranked 1624 p4p, 176 weight class). Crane comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Love Inc!-Broken Bones! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Borg Bunting has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Borg Bunting seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
