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