PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ledil Kuch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Torturo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuch's entrance music is Bob Seger - Turn the Page. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Torturo's choice of entrance music: Mogwai - Katrien. On his way into the cage it seems that Ledil Kuch has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ledil Kuch seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
