Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Manus Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grant comes to the cage accompanied by Thunderstruck - AC/DC. Silva has chosen UFC Theme Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
