PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Sicila (ranked 25494 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rory Fowler (ranked 7767 p4p, 0 weight class). Fowler has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Sam Sicila has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sam Sicila seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
