Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Batista kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Walk Alone. Adams has chosen Thom Pace - Maybe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
