Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wanderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Usher - More . Rua has chosen Usher-More Remix as his entrance music. Mauricio Rua has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Wanderson Silva's chin.
