PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ze Maluco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Truth Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Truth Lee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Ze Maluco has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ze Maluco seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
