PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brian Middleston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has chosen Linkinpark Crawling as his entrance music. Brian Middleston looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
