PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Omar Dahir (ranked 181 p4p, 255 weight class) and Yuuki Brixton (ranked 20 p4p, 30 weight class). Brixton has chosen Otherworld as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Omar Dahir has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Omar Dahir seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
