Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Skip McMann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Death Blooms By Mudvayne. McMann has chosen Snow - Informer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
