PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Batang Kock (ranked 945 p4p, 897 weight class) and Flo Holl (ranked 80 p4p, 71 weight class). Kock comes into the arena with I will axe kick you, and I am not careful. blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Batang Kock has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Batang Kock seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
