PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Augusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shogun Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Augusto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trough the Fire and the Flames. Silva has chosen PRIDE FC Opening Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
