PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frank Palmeri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eduardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmeri comes to the cage accompanied by dragon rider. Silva has chosen X is Coming as his entrance music. Eduardo Silva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Eduardo Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
