Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Prince Adam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xxtreme MMA (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, He-Man: Opening Theme. MMA has chosen Im Shipping Up To Boston 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.
