Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Sharp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has chosen suffocating under the words of sorrow (Bullet For My Valentine) as his entrance music. Nick Silva is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
