PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zsiga Venczel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ali Rahim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rahim has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Zsiga Venczel has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zsiga Venczel seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
