PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hatori Hanzo (ranked 1186 p4p, 143 weight class) and Braiden Mattison (ranked 7399 p4p, 545 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Hatori Hanzo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hatori Hanzo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
