PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Heiji Endo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olle Kula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kula has chosen back on my feet as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Heiji Endo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Heiji Endo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
