PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daft Young (ranked 667 p4p, 84 weight class) and Teemu Karjalainen (ranked 1089 p4p, 139 weight class). Young comes to the cage accompanied by Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The crowd seem to be enjoying Karjalainen's choice of entrance music: Poisonblack - Sun Shines Black. On his way into the cage it seems that Daft Young has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Daft Young seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
