Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Cote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - Southern Flavor. Adam Cote will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
