PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sammy Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts has chosen Killing In The Name Of - By Rage Against The Machine as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sammy Stone has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sammy Stone seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
