PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Bloodaxe (ranked 500 p4p, 773 weight class) and Zabit Hussein (ranked 74 p4p, 120 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Gunnar Bloodaxe has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gunnar Bloodaxe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
