PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Costa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grant Riley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Riley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Boom. On his way into the cage it seems that Quentin Costa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Quentin Costa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
