Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Solomon Cook (ranked 3748 p4p, 69 weight class) and James Adams (ranked 5000 p4p, 77 weight class). Adams has chosen Thom Pace - Maybe as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that James Adams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
