PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Dinklage (ranked 78 p4p, 193 weight class) and Kodiyak Redd (ranked 6 p4p, 10 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Dan Dinklage has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dan Dinklage seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
