Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Silva (ranked 3153 p4p, 293 weight class) and Cavey Beaumont (ranked 1189 p4p, 139 weight class). Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Architects-Doomsday. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
