Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Machida The Coward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Carolla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Coward comes to the cage accompanied by machida the best. Carolla has chosen Gotta Get It On from Taboo 2 as his entrance music. 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.
