Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eron Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lynyrd Skynrd - Sweet Home Alabama. 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.
