PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Logan Wolverine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xalvador Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wolverine kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is I stand Alone - Godsmack. Xalvador Silva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
