PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Alonso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alonso has chosen Epidemic as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Thiago Silva has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thiago Silva seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
