Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Adams (ranked 717 p4p, 106 weight class) and Tero Susi (ranked 143 p4p, 19 weight class). Adams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Thom Pace - Maybe. James Adams has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
