PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Troy Anselmo (ranked 1537 p4p, 194 weight class) and Earl Jeffries (ranked 728 p4p, 99 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Troy Anselmo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Troy Anselmo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
