PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edgars Simans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fahad Al Qarni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Al Qarni has chosen Hells Bells as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Edgars Simans has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Edgars Simans seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
