Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bullet Bookem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Warren Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bookem's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Solitaire Unraveling. Adams has chosen Bang Your Head as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bullet Bookem could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Warren Adams's chin.
