PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rafa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Lomax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to UFC Theme Song. Lomax is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ace of Spades. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
