Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andre Lugenkeigelflaufferston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Koscheck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lugenkeigelflaufferston might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Control by Big Wreck. Koscheck is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers. 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!
