Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eric Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Hawk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, England Belongs to Me. Hawk has chosen RAPE ME as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
