PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Fortune (ranked 201 p4p, 30 weight class) and Azar Qasi (ranked 351 p4p, 50 weight class). Qasi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by For Whom The Bell Tolls. On his way into the cage it seems that Dominic Fortune has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dominic Fortune seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
