PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Victor Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Silva's choice of entrance music: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. 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 Anderson Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
