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