PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Salvador (ranked 297 p4p, 41 weight class) and Pave Hunt (ranked 1345 p4p, 167 weight class). Hunt has chosen Limp Bizkit - Eat You Alive as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that George Salvador has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily George Salvador seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
