PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wa Keem (ranked 6708 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thor DeNeuve (ranked 4503 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Wa Keem has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wa Keem seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
