PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marmuro Takamura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Ripgut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takamura kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Number One Son - Becoming. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ripgut's choice of entrance music: Abominable Putridity - Throat Fisting Abortion. On his way into the cage it seems that Marmuro Takamura has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marmuro Takamura seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
