PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gektor Lombard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes into a darkened arena with his song building. UFC Theme Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Rafa Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
