Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Silva Noguiera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Parker David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). David is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Slipknot - Duality. 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.
