PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mai Tai (ranked 3996 p4p, 2158 weight class) and Roy Ike (ranked 418 p4p, 238 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Mai Tai has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mai Tai seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
