PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mac Anudo (ranked 715 p4p, 1004 weight class) and Kristoph Kringle (ranked 82 p4p, 109 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Mac Anudo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mac Anudo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
