PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Ajax (ranked 2431 p4p, 257 weight class) and Rich Silva Jr (ranked 1856 p4p, 204 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Silva Jr's choice of entrance music: Sleeping Giant. On his way into the cage it seems that Martin Ajax has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Martin Ajax seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
