Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Micah Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Oshea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Climbing Up The Walls -Radiohead. King Oshea told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
