PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ichiro Suzuki (ranked 3988 p4p, 205 weight class) and Uriah Chin (ranked 3326 p4p, 177 weight class). Uriah Chin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.7lbs 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 Ichiro Suzuki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ichiro Suzuki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
