PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Shunkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Malcomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shunkov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem-пока я не св&#. Malcomes is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Blink-182 - First Date. On his way into the cage it seems that Sergei Shunkov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sergei Shunkov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
