McLauhglin comes to the ring accompanied by What the hell are you waiting for. Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Architects-Doomsday. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
