PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Rivero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chico Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that John Rivero has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Rivero seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
