Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steve Belliveau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Siblas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belliveau's entrance music is We will rock you. A fine choice. Siblas is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Not Falling" by Mudvayne. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
