Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wandeco Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vera's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black Eyed Peas - Bebot. Silva has chosen Mad Dog as his entrance music. 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.
