PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Genghis Kant (ranked 2349 p4p, 4936 weight class) and John Kleen (ranked 304 p4p, 534 weight class). Kant kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sons of Plunder. On his way into the ring it seems that Genghis Kant has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Genghis Kant seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
