Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Hara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Mendez Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Armin van Buuren - Sail. 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!
