PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Ino Phillips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ali Oubaali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phillips kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Quiet Storm by Mobb Deep. Oubaali has chosen Belsunce Breakdown as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Ino Phillips has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ino Phillips seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
