Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sarkis Terteryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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!
