PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rudy Rhod (ranked 599 p4p, 75 weight class) and Abdel Mumu (ranked 397 p4p, 50 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Rudy Rhod has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rudy Rhod seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
