PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Taisto Kurmotus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh Honey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Honey has chosen Cruising in Miami by Bass 305 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Taisto Kurmotus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Taisto Kurmotus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
