PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Mamoru Yamiyukai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). David is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: PRINCE RAMA - RAGHUPATI. On his way into the ring it seems that Mamoru Yamiyukai has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mamoru Yamiyukai seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
