PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kwiwan Fogomayu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fogomayu comes into the arena with Kyamadu blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Kwiwan Fogomayu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kwiwan Fogomayu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
