TK 5: Ukko PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shrivatsa Pitt (ranked 5935 p4p, 4287 weight class) and Pier Oka (ranked 175 p4p, 133 weight class). Pitt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dancing On My Own. On his way into the cage it seems that Shrivatsa Pitt has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shrivatsa Pitt seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
