Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aristides Cipriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Grohl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cipriano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chico Science e Naçăo Zumbi - Manguetown. Grohl is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stricken - Disturbed. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nogueira has chosen Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become (One-X) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
