Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carl Mills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bigfoot Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mills comes to the cage accompanied by LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Silva's choice of entrance music: Lil Wayne Feat. Mike Tyson - American Dream. 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.
