PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Williams (ranked 2870 p4p, 3683 weight class) and Hunter Weaver (ranked 283 p4p, 358 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Weaver's choice of entrance music: Cassius Clay - Avelino. On his way into the cage it seems that Jimmy Williams has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jimmy Williams seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
