PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Dismantle (ranked 542 p4p, 196 weight class) and Odin Markkanen (ranked 54 p4p, 21 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dismantle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Come As You Are. On his way into the cage it seems that Mickey Dismantle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mickey Dismantle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
