PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Shepherd (ranked 3097 p4p, 3410 weight class) and Leandro Da Silva (ranked 354 p4p, 390 weight class). Shepherd comes to the cage accompanied by Everyone's an Outlaw. Da Silva has chosen Zombie - The Cranberries as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Miguel Shepherd has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Miguel Shepherd seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
