PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chrys Kyle (ranked 821 p4p, 96 weight class) and Nameless Fighter (ranked 1494 p4p, 157 weight class). Fighter has chosen Dan Balan Like as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Chrys Kyle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chrys Kyle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
