Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karol Adamek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Cena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adamek's entrance music is Funky Polak. A fine choice. Cena has chosen John Cena - My Time Is Now as his entrance music. 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?
