Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Junior De Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dante Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
