PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Terry Slaughter (ranked 358 p4p, 752 weight class) and James Colby (ranked 39 p4p, 80 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Terry Slaughter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Terry Slaughter seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
