PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerry Kelly (ranked 249 p4p, 40 weight class) and Solomon Kahn (ranked 636 p4p, 99 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Gerry Kelly has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gerry Kelly seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
