PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juho Huikkonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huikkonen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is ill nino - this is war. Silva is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sandstorm. On his way into the cage it seems that Juho Huikkonen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Juho Huikkonen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
