PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alacrity Fitzhugh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eduardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fitzhugh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Master of Puppets. Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by X is Coming. Eduardo Silva is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
