PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noam Dar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nevil Hawk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hawk's choice of entrance music: Ruleta. On his way into the cage it seems that Noam Dar has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Noam Dar seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
