PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Vasilevskiy (ranked 403 p4p, 61 weight class) and Stadin Kingi (ranked 478 p4p, 69 weight class). Kingi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kahvimaito. On his way into the cage it seems that Andrei Vasilevskiy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andrei Vasilevskiy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
