PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Inyo Mahmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mahmi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burning Season. Watanabe comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bombage by Tiësto kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the ring it seems that Inyo Mahmi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Inyo Mahmi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
