PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Stop (Blue Mix) - Ghost K. 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 Billy Beast was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
