Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Rodrigo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes into the arena with The Pot - Tool blaring out of the sound system. Rodrigo has chosen Pachanga - Calienta as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Paulo Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
