PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Zaire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gump has chosen Louie Armstrong - What a Wonderful World as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Abdullah Zaire has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Abdullah Zaire seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
