PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nino Pagnotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfredo Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pagnotto's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Very Ape - Nirvana. Gomez has chosen Big Pimpin as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Nino Pagnotto has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nino Pagnotto seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
