PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alika Hakekia (ranked 1453 p4p, 183 weight class) and Scott Watt (ranked 1826 p4p, 218 weight class). Watt has chosen Edmund Fitzgerald as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Alika Hakekia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alika Hakekia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
