Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andy Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Silvera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Silvera is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wedlock. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
