PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Reinaldo Hopper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apros Adam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Reinaldo Hopper has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Reinaldo Hopper seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
