Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silver comes to the cage accompanied by Give me da loot. Fox has chosen Cant Be Touched by Roy Jones Jr. 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.
