PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fidel Castroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joaquim Maria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maria has chosen Kronos - Bloodtower as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Fidel Castroy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Fidel Castroy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
