Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlton Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Arealius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Wild Boyz. Arealius has chosen Ministry Rock as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
