PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mac Tzu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Bach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tzu comes into the arena with How I Could Just Kill A Man blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Mac Tzu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mac Tzu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
