Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Barack Obaminator (ranked 161 p4p, 406 weight class) and Principo Adam (ranked 24 p4p, 60 weight class). Obaminator kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Adam has chosen Dona Eis Requiem as his entrance music. 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.
