PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rudy Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Redman - Da goodness. Fernandez has chosen God of Hell Fire as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
