PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henri Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think West might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Outlawz- Real Talk. On his way into the cage it seems that Andrew West has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andrew West seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
