PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Corwin Anstey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anstey comes to the cage accompanied by Gonna Fly Now . Silva has chosen Lil Wayne- I'm Me as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Michael Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
