Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steven Lidae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lidae kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crack A Bottle. John Silva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. John Silva looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
