PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Beam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kamala Naamahaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Naamahaara is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kishore Kumar : Chuu Kar Mere Mann Ko. On his way into the cage it seems that Jim Beam has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jim Beam seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
