PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuuto Kawasati (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez's entrance music is Cypress Hill - Tequila Sunrise. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Jesus Sanchez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesus Sanchez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
