Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, system of a down - violent pornography. Lesnar has chosen Enae Volare Mezzo as his entrance music. 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.
