Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marco De Luca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Luca might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The End Begins (To Rock). Shane Silva will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
