Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Feodor Shemelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eli Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shemelianenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . Crowe has chosen Angry Johnny & The Killbillies - Kill Again 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!
