PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolly Parton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parton has chosen call to prayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Mauricio Rua has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mauricio Rua seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
