PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Dru Quick (ranked 21416 p4p, 22624 weight class) and Toa Mudo (ranked 225 p4p, 233 weight class). Quick kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gangster's Paradise- Coolio. Mudo has chosen Rise-Disturbed as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Dru Quick has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dru Quick seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
