Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Landon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Beautiful People. Ricardo Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
