PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shachlo Popyachtsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwayne Keller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popyachtsa's entrance music is Upyachka Dance. A fine choice. Keller is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Crying like a Bitch - Godsmack. On his way into the cage it seems that Shachlo Popyachtsa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shachlo Popyachtsa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
