PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Coffey (ranked 4788 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janis Blums (ranked 7304 p4p, 0 weight class). Blums is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: BEAST by Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard. On his way into the cage it seems that Ronnie Coffey has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ronnie Coffey seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
