PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Corassa (ranked 83 p4p, 93 weight class) and Rukter Demenok (ranked 12 p4p, 14 weight class). Demenok has chosen The Moby Dick Speech as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Eduardo Corassa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eduardo Corassa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
