PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Greene (ranked 1417 p4p, 698 weight class) and Stevo Caruga (ranked 203 p4p, 102 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Red Greene has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Red Greene seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
