Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ada Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sullivan has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston 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.
