PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eliss Grov (ranked 144 p4p, 1818 weight class) and Mehdi Illir (ranked 20 p4p, 189 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Eliss Grov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eliss Grov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
