Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between OK Fighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adolf Jonsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fighter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pawn Shop - Sublime. 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.
