PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Peixoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Celso de Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peixoto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nirvana - Breed. de Souza has chosen Linkin Park - In The End as his entrance music. de Souza has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Lucas Peixoto has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lucas Peixoto seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
