PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darren Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith has chosen Oh Well. as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ricardo Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ricardo Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
