PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ron Lemieux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Puntti Manne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lemieux comes to the cage accompanied by Sliwa. Manne has chosen Edguy - Two Out of Seven as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ron Lemieux has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ron Lemieux seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
