PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ispa Perkele (ranked 809 p4p, 588 weight class) and Alika Hakekia (ranked 118 p4p, 90 weight class). Hakekia has chosen Nation Of Violence as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ispa Perkele has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ispa Perkele seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
