Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Godard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ajdin Lovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lovic has chosen Zlatni Ljiljani as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
