Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gold comes to the cage accompanied by Can't Be Touched. Silva has chosen Dmx No Sunshine as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
