PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chumani Adofo (ranked 46 p4p, 125 weight class) and Charles Eric Cheese (ranked 5 p4p, 16 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Cheese's choice of entrance music: The Midnight NAMBLA. On his way into the cage it seems that Chumani Adofo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chumani Adofo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
