PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chike Obi (ranked 2591 p4p, 2901 weight class) and Ispa Perkele (ranked 259 p4p, 281 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Chike Obi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chike Obi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
