PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaino Heikkinen (ranked 1157 p4p, 158 weight class) and Sinbad Baba (ranked 1841 p4p, 240 weight class). Heikkinen comes to the cage accompanied by For Heavy Metal we will die!. Baba has chosen King of Seven Seas as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kaino Heikkinen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kaino Heikkinen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
