PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yallen Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Weed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silver might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Like Light to the Flies - Trivium. Jonathan Weed will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
