PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 526 p4p, 65 weight class) and Gunter Vogler (ranked 523 p4p, 64 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brophy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Walk. Vogler has chosen Durchblick - Mach Dich Locker as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Davie Brophy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Davie Brophy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
