PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Esa Akerlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirch Hoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akerlund's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rainer Friman - Valkeat vaunut. On his way into the ring it seems that Esa Akerlund has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Esa Akerlund seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
