PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Soszynski (ranked 363 p4p, 54 weight class) and Frank Stein (ranked 1382 p4p, 202 weight class). Soszynski comes to the cage accompanied by Sabaton - 40 : 1. Stein has chosen Red - Falling Sky as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Krystian Soszynski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Krystian Soszynski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
