Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Honda Dedechi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stop (Blue Mix) - Ghost K. Dedechi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Daler Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun. Honda Dedechi has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Eduardo Silva's chin.
