PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Claudio Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodrigues has chosen Weight of my Pride as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Paulo Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Paulo Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
