PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Power Shark (ranked 3400 p4p, 4582 weight class) and Lalama Amana (ranked 460 p4p, 560 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Power Shark has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Power Shark seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
