PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vinny Russo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sten Biller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russo comes into the arena with Volbeat - The Human Instrument blaring out of the sound system. Biller has chosen Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Vinny Russo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vinny Russo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
