PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jin Endo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tonii Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaa has chosen Remember The Name as his entrance music. Endo is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. On his way into the cage it seems that Jin Endo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jin Endo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
