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