PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scruff Mcdaniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Michaels might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead on Arrival by Billy Idol. On his way into the cage it seems that Luis Michaels has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Luis Michaels seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
