PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leo Sarsola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bunny Wailer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sarsola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mono - 16.12. Wailer has chosen Soul Rebel as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Leo Sarsola has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Leo Sarsola seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
