PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Santos (ranked 3509 p4p, 3749 weight class) and Ethan Reagan (ranked 440 p4p, 470 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Diego Santos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Diego Santos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
