Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donny Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Monkey Junction. Silva is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: LL CoolJ - Headsprung. 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?
