Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chang Ryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amilian Vega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ryu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to WORLD ORDER in New York. Vega has chosen Black Acid Devil as his entrance music. 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!
