PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eskil Lemmelin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yi Liu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lemmelin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fönt ja en körv. Liu has chosen Superman - Jucifer as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Eskil Lemmelin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eskil Lemmelin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
