PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Fom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Kroshevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kroshevic's choice of entrance music: "Curl of the Burl" by Mastodon. On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Fom has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Fom seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
