PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Henry (ranked 1962 p4p, 2835 weight class) and Darken Rahl (ranked 224 p4p, 295 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that John Henry has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Henry seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
