PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Zal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Hawk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawk has chosen White Rabbit as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Zal has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Zal seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
