PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Greg LaFleche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Greg LaFleche has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Greg LaFleche seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
