Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Harry Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felipe Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cole comes into the arena with Skid Row - 18 And Life blaring out of the sound system. Silva has chosen Slipknot - Psychosocial as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.
