PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alec Harvey (ranked 2141 p4p, 2781 weight class) and Clay Hayden (ranked 269 p4p, 335 weight class). Harvey's entrance music is I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Choke. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Alec Harvey has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alec Harvey seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
