PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sigurd Ragnarsson (ranked 1805 p4p, 2440 weight class) and Stefano Del Monte (ranked 242 p4p, 320 weight class). Ragnarsson's entrance music is Twilight of the Thunder God. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Sigurd Ragnarsson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sigurd Ragnarsson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
