PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jerome Le Banner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ilkka Kanerva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Le Banner's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Carmina Burana. Kanerva has chosen Sultans of Swing as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Jerome Le Banner has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jerome Le Banner seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
