PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Dugout (ranked 2278 p4p, 2232 weight class) and Yilmaz Kurth (ranked 261 p4p, 256 weight class). Kurth has chosen Hail to the King as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rufus Dugout has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rufus Dugout seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
