PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antti Sokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noam Chomsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sokka comes into the arena with Black Sun Aeon - Core of Winter blaring out of the sound system. Chomsky comes into a darkened arena with his song building. System Of A Down - Sugar kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Antti Sokka has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Antti Sokka seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
