PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lakoj Dresden (ranked 961 p4p, 38 weight class) and Artur Azaryan (ranked 1765 p4p, 71 weight class). Azaryan has chosen Notorious BIG - Mo Money Mo Problems as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Lakoj Dresden has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lakoj Dresden seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
