PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Volodymyr Kersikov (ranked 166 p4p, 723 weight class) and Michal Sykora (ranked 12 p4p, 61 weight class). Kersikov's entrance music is DEF LEPPARD - Pour Some Sugar On Me. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Volodymyr Kersikov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Volodymyr Kersikov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
