PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gwyn Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manya Kizz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kizz has chosen Go Hard Or Go Home as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Gwyn Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gwyn Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
