Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terry Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Burke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burke has chosen Let it Rock as his entrance music. Burke has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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.
