PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Teukka Salama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Worrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Salama's entrance music is The Temple Of The King. A fine choice. Worrell comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Feuer Frei by Rammstein kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Teukka Salama has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Teukka Salama seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
