PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Baldimir Zsofka (ranked 1672 p4p, 2771 weight class) and JJ Moss (ranked 252 p4p, 410 weight class). Zsofka comes into the arena with Raid - MF DOOM blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Baldimir Zsofka has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Baldimir Zsofka seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
