PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vinny Epeen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ho Sung Pak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Vinny Epeen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vinny Epeen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
