PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ukko Metso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronny Hilfiger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ukko Metso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ukko Metso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
