PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Biabas Kitjakarn (ranked 170 p4p, 398 weight class) and Philip Marcus (ranked 14 p4p, 33 weight class). Kitjakarn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dancing Drums. On his way into the cage it seems that Biabas Kitjakarn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Biabas Kitjakarn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
