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