PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paulao Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Obrien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vou não, quero não, posso não, minha mulher não deixa não. Obrien has chosen I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing as his entrance music. Roger Obrien is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
