PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Diego Garcia (ranked 997 p4p, 1338 weight class) and Alan Spence (ranked 142 p4p, 184 weight class). Spence comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Were Coming kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Diego Garcia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Diego Garcia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
