PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kaengsaklek Sitsongrit (ranked 25 p4p, 84 weight class) and Jakov Pavlek (ranked 2 p4p, 10 weight class). Pavlek has chosen Cool Kids of Death - Czloweik Mucha as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Kaengsaklek Sitsongrit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kaengsaklek Sitsongrit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
