PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zell Dincht (ranked 2051 p4p, 2001 weight class) and Alen Ohanian (ranked 285 p4p, 278 weight class). Ohanian has chosen The Eternals - Wrath of Zeus as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Zell Dincht has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zell Dincht seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
