PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kenshiro Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus van Heisen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). van Heisen has chosen Sympathy for the Devil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Kenshiro Yamamoto has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kenshiro Yamamoto seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
