PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cane Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gian Matteo Ranzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Boom n Pow. On his way into the cage it seems that Cane Lee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cane Lee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
