Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Titan Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gene Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Law kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nirvana-Come as You Are. Lopez has chosen Desabafo as his entrance music. Gene Lopez 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!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danilo Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Danilo Lopez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.5lbs 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. Rickson Silva has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
