PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pera Suoli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Weeks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Suoli might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to L.A. Woman. On his way into the cage it seems that Pera Suoli has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pera Suoli seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
