Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Voices. Jaa has chosen Anna Molly by Incubus 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!
