PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Urias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Valens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Urias's entrance music is Here comes the BOOM. A fine choice. Valens has chosen Mariachi Vargas - El Jarabe Tapatio as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Miguel Urias has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Miguel Urias seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
