PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konstantin Manison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manison is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wherever I May Roam. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
