Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ramoan Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jones Bocadillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bocadillo's choice of entrance music: "Replacement Killer" by Elephant Man. Ramoan Silva looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
