Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nasir Drogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drako Vonstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drogo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Don't Like the Look of It. Vonstein is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC Thunderstruck (techno). Drako Vonstein struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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!
