PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Bishop (ranked 487 p4p, 50 weight class) and Gerardo Pacheco (ranked 1453 p4p, 141 weight class). Bishop's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ghetts - Artillery. 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!?
