PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Miller (ranked 1973 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Silva (ranked 3572 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Not Falling. Silva has chosen Roots Bloody Roots - Sepultura as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eddie Miller has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
