Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sergio Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JR Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garcia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ludacris - Beast Mode. Adams has chosen 'Looking For The Stone' by Dry Branch Fire Squad as his entrance music. Sergio Garcia could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to JR Adams's chin.
