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