Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adam Schmierer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Major Major (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Major has chosen Iron Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The key to victory for Adam Schmierer has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
