PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lin Shui (ranked 2576 p4p, 284 weight class) and Brandon Stark (ranked 4720 p4p, 480 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Lin Shui has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lin Shui seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
