Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heffe Barsanti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter comes to the cage accompanied by Stuntin' like my Daddy. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Carwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beat It - MJ. 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?
