Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik White (ranked 979 p4p, 691 weight class) and Simon Adebisi (ranked 120 p4p, 78 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. 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.
