Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Simon Adebisi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nante Navetta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adebisi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Go Go Adebisi. The crowd seem to be enjoying Navetta's choice of entrance music: Roger Allan Wade - If You're Gonna Be Dumb. 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.
