PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Davdio Branko (ranked 571 p4p, 635 weight class) and Tommy Harinck (ranked 42 p4p, 47 weight class). Tommy Harinck struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Davdio Branko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Davdio Branko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
