PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Scholes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mayuri Tatsuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tatsuki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Norther - Released. On his way into the cage it seems that Jackson Scholes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jackson Scholes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
