Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Elwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Silvestre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Elwood's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ice Cube - Why We Thugs. Daniel Silvestre has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
