Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rob Adam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tauno Palo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Grateful Deads- Truckin'. 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.
