PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcio Tarpim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and eric buto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marcio Tarpim had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcio Tarpim has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcio Tarpim seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
