PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kai Urutaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guillermo Espada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Espada is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Greedy Fly. On his way into the cage it seems that Kai Urutaka has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kai Urutaka seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
