PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Vincent (ranked 4852 p4p, 126 weight class) and Jandre Vorster (ranked 5435 p4p, 137 weight class). Vorster has chosen Behemoth as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Vinnie Vincent has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vinnie Vincent seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
