PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Zaru Kayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gasan Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Zaru Kayne has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zaru Kayne seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
