Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Silvestry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Tweedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silvestry's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Street Fighter. Tweedy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hard Act To Follow. 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.
