PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Hamilton (ranked 20676 p4p, 619 weight class) and Wasim Kayani (ranked 8525 p4p, 636 weight class). Hamilton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alexander Hamilton. Kayani is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Audioslave - Exploder. On his way into the cage it seems that Alexander Hamilton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alexander Hamilton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
