PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Play Whitewall (ranked 1470 p4p, 794 weight class) and Rob Knight (ranked 195 p4p, 112 weight class). On his way into the ring it seems that Play Whitewall has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Play Whitewall seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
