PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Evan MacMillan (ranked 1806 p4p, 1998 weight class) and Rob Sapo (ranked 266 p4p, 285 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Evan MacMillan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Evan MacMillan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
