PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ishikawa Goemon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tor Troeng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goemon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Beginning is the End. On his way into the cage it seems that Ishikawa Goemon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ishikawa Goemon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
