PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Batts (ranked 916 p4p, 129 weight class) and Jon Snitch (ranked 1746 p4p, 227 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Batts might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Midnight City - By: M83. Snitch has chosen I Wanna Rock as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Peter Batts has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Peter Batts seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
