PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santeri Sikaniska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sikaniska is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 2 Brothers on the 4th floor - Fairytales. On his way into the cage it seems that Piotr Rasputin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Piotr Rasputin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
