Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Herbie Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawkins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, My Sacrifice. 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.
