PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between D.D Panda (ranked 1115 p4p, 1965 weight class) and Hafir Dharris (ranked 173 p4p, 315 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that D.D Panda has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily D.D Panda seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
