PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bigfoot Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tallak Hrolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's entrance music is Lil Wayne Feat. Mike Tyson - American Dream. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Bigfoot Silva has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bigfoot Silva seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
