PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wolfe Larsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Snagari Heijjari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larsen comes to the cage accompanied by "Get Out" by Circa Survive. Heijjari is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ratatat - Loud Pipes . On his way into the cage it seems that Wolfe Larsen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wolfe Larsen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
