PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lee Tsakada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). House has chosen Links 2,3,4 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. House has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Lee Tsakada has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lee Tsakada seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
