PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pal Hasani (ranked 1202 p4p, 81 weight class) and Ichiro Suzuki (ranked 2200 p4p, 137 weight class). Hasani comes into the arena with Slipknot - Duality blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Pal Hasani has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pal Hasani seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
