PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joey Silvera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Waters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silvera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wedlock. Waters has chosen Hip Hop as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
