Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adam Yauch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enzo Moretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yauch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fight For Your Right To Party. 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?
