PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yasol Kim (ranked 3009 p4p, 2234 weight class) and Tud Stoddler (ranked 369 p4p, 0 weight class). Stoddler has chosen Arcade Fire - Ready to Start as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Yasol Kim has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yasol Kim seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
