Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silvano Assunicao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Bustamante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silvano Assunicao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Demian Bustamante told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Mason comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sean Kingston-Take you there kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
