PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 10778 p4p, 263 weight class) and Alistair Spong (ranked 5841 p4p, 120 weight class). Suri's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bohemia - Kali Denali . Spong is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . On his way into the ring it seems that Sher Shah Suri has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sher Shah Suri seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
