PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sloat Gresham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Good Day (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Day is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hifana - Wamono. On his way into the cage it seems that Sloat Gresham has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sloat Gresham seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
