PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Darry Curtis (ranked 3818 p4p, 402 weight class) and Sampson Shain (ranked 3408 p4p, 361 weight class). Curtis's entrance music is The Outsiders 'Stay Gold' by Stevie Wonder . A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Darry Curtis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Darry Curtis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
