Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daunte Mauricio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royce Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mauricio Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Getting Away with Murder-Papa Roach. Daunte Mauricio Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The key to victory for Daunte Mauricio Silva has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is No Chance in Hell-Redman. Souza has chosen Out Here Grinding_DJ Khaled as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
