PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sammy Suarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Kirkland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Suarez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to RAZON PUBLICA. On his way into the cage it seems that Sammy Suarez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sammy Suarez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
