PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thip Top (ranked 3789 p4p, 312 weight class) and Luka Perovic (ranked 5067 p4p, 364 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Thip Top has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thip Top seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
