PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henri Lafitte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernesto Panado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Panado has chosen Lorde - Team as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Henri Lafitte has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Henri Lafitte seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
