PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Marco (ranked 4615 p4p, 514 weight class) and Tsukune Shiba (ranked 4434 p4p, 496 weight class). Shiba has chosen Fall Out Boy - The Phoenix as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Dennis Marco has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dennis Marco seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
