PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Force (ranked 290 p4p, 15 weight class) and Beast Putin (ranked 882 p4p, 21 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Force has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Force seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
