PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muay Tibs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tibs has chosen Atreyu - The Crimson as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Robson Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
