PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Durant (ranked 24631 p4p, 780 weight class) and Carlos Silva (ranked 7017 p4p, 652 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Durant might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman. On his way into the cage it seems that Kevin Durant has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kevin Durant seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
