PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rodolpho Vasquel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Lontrame (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vasquel comes to the cage accompanied by Surviving the Times. Lontrame has chosen Knife Party by Deftones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rodolpho Vasquel has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rodolpho Vasquel seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
