PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Kusimuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kusimuki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, National Anthem Of Japan. Storm has chosen Thunder Strike - ACDC as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Takeshi Kusimuki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Takeshi Kusimuki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
