Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russ Rutger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filo Bedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rutger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hall & Oates - Out of Touch. Bedo has chosen Every Which Way But Loose 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 prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
