Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jadiel Adelina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muay Tibs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adelina's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, VYBZ KARTEL- LIKE A JOCKEY. Tibs has chosen Atreyu - The Crimson as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Muay Tibs was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
