PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brenton Caldwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jairo Valea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Valea is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Organ Donor - DJ Shadow. On his way into the cage it seems that Brenton Caldwell has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brenton Caldwell seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
