PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tom Thomas (ranked 1390 p4p, 785 weight class) and BM Websphere (ranked 165 p4p, 107 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tom Thomas has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tom Thomas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
