PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pekka Peitsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hansen comes to the cage accompanied by I dont believe a word. Peitsi has chosen Seitsemän kertaa seitsemän as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Roger Hansen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Roger Hansen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
