Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shaun OShea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think OShea might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to S.O.S. - The Irish Curse. Chris Silva has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
