Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shogun Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marciano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to REDEMPTION SONG. The crowd seem to be enjoying Silva's choice of entrance music: Kashmir. 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.
