Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Paolo Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Rice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Da Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Capoeira do Brasil (Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66). Rice has chosen AC/DC - Thunderstruck as his entrance music. 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.
