PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rei Francisco (ranked 4655 p4p, 579 weight class) and LeRoy Brown (ranked 3927 p4p, 509 weight class). Brown has chosen Bad Bad Leroy Brown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rei Francisco has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rei Francisco seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
