Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muhammad Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Rickson Silva has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Rosenzweig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tat Moh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Judge Holden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Atlister The Demon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holden's entrance music is Act a Fool.
