PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adan Puno (ranked 317 p4p, 443 weight class) and Alexander Rozhkov (ranked 42 p4p, 67 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Adan Puno has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Adan Puno seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
