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