PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlo Pedersoli (ranked 54 p4p, 64 weight class) and Temujin Namkhai (ranked 9 p4p, 13 weight class). Namkhai has chosen Batzorig Vaanchig - Mongolian Throat Singing as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Carlo Pedersoli has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carlo Pedersoli seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
