PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Culver Crimson (ranked 4577 p4p, 3107 weight class) and William Norman (ranked 440 p4p, 323 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Culver Crimson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Culver Crimson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
