PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Per Saukko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Choosen One by Forever in Terror. Saukko is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Jedi Mind Tricks - Genghis Khan . On his way into the cage it seems that Pablo Santos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pablo Santos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
