PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blind Shaman (ranked 1342 p4p, 174 weight class) and Jesper Parnevik (ranked 2739 p4p, 302 weight class). Shaman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shaman's Dream. Parnevik is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Montana of 300 - Here Now. On his way into the cage it seems that Blind Shaman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Blind Shaman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
