PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bernard Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton. Love has chosen You ready as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bernard Benton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bernard Benton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
