PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chumani Adofo (ranked 166 p4p, 251 weight class) and Sven Johansson (ranked 17 p4p, 27 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Chumani Adofo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chumani Adofo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
