PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - The Unforgiven II . Rogers has chosen American Badass by Kid Rock as his entrance music. Lucas Silva could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Steve Rogers's chin.
