PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knockout Mccloskey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mccloskey has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! On his way into the cage it seems that Manny Mayweather has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Manny Mayweather seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
