PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Philip Ziskie (ranked 337 p4p, 293 weight class) and Koichi Kamei (ranked 44 p4p, 38 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Philip Ziskie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Philip Ziskie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
