PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Bishop (ranked 546 p4p, 60 weight class) and Mahalo Bittencourt (ranked 1190 p4p, 123 weight class). Bishop's entrance music is Ghetts - Artillery. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Jackson Bishop has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jackson Bishop seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
