PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oulu Laine (ranked 81 p4p, 376 weight class) and Kay Bone (ranked 15 p4p, 49 weight class). Laine kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Peti - Oulu Shangri-la. On his way into the cage it seems that Oulu Laine has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Oulu Laine seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
