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