PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahmed Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's entrance music is Go to Sleep. A fine choice. Ali has chosen Slayer- Reign of Blood as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Juan Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Juan Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
