PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andriy Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Weed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kersikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Russian Roulette. On his way into the ring it seems that Andriy Kersikov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andriy Kersikov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
