Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Gabble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderlei Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by SandStorm. Wanderlei Silva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs 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. Wanderlei Silva will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
