Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chad Herbstreit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Herbstreit's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Herb Alpert - Street Life. Hardy has chosen Van damme - streets of Siam as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chad Herbstreit had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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!
