Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adam Kraft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Daley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kraft's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, knock em dead (kid) by Motley Crue. Daley has chosen I can't Dance-Phil Collins as his entrance music. Adam Kraft had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The key to victory for Adam Kraft has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
