PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Chigurh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chigurh comes into the arena with Kvelertak-Mjod blaring out of the sound system. Taborda is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: New Noise by Refused. On his way into the cage it seems that Anton Chigurh has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Anton Chigurh seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
