PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jean Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gwach War (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. Jean Silva came in at 137.3 and Gwach War came in at 136.3 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Gwach War looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!

Silva working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. War doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Silva is tightening it up a little... War has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! War reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! War taps out! Nice BJJ there by Silva!
