PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Silva (ranked 1980 p4p, 2734 weight class) and Colby Bryant (ranked 254 p4p, 342 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Alex Silva has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alex Silva seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
