PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ken Maxwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Manfredo Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manfredo Jr has chosen Three 6 Mafia - It´s a fight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ken Maxwell has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ken Maxwell seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
