PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Griffith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krigniv Oalognov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griffith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kirameki. On his way into the cage it seems that Robert Griffith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Robert Griffith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
