PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pejo Radman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matteo Minonzio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minonzio has chosen Metallica Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Pejo Radman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pejo Radman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
