PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Erica Santana (ranked 3769 p4p, 3018 weight class) and Scottie Lamez (ranked 257 p4p, 221 weight class). Santana kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Scream - OG Ron C. On his way into the cage it seems that Erica Santana has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Erica Santana seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
