PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Peters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Da Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, No Love - Eminem. Peters has chosen Sevendust - Enemy as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
