PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ciro Terranova (ranked 263 p4p, 276 weight class) and Harry Winston (ranked 34 p4p, 38 weight class). Winston has chosen The Lost Boy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ciro Terranova has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ciro Terranova seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
