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