PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Severn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac - I'm a Soldier. On his way into the cage it seems that Don Diego has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Don Diego seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
