PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tomato Can (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorden Ellis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ellis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by M.E.T.H.O.D. Man. On his way into the cage it seems that Tomato Can has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tomato Can seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
