PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Dux (ranked 3182 p4p, 399 weight class) and Seth Sexton (ranked 3267 p4p, 403 weight class). Sexton has chosen I'm too sexy - Right Said Fred as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Dux has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Dux seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
