PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hideto Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenshii Tanamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tanamoto's choice of entrance music: Slipknot - Wait and Bleed. On his way into the cage it seems that Hideto Matsumoto has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hideto Matsumoto seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
