PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Tank (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdullah Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tank comes to the cage accompanied by Destiny. Virtanen has chosen Soomaaliyeey toosoo as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Tank has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Tank seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
