Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Akoni Jackson (ranked 664 p4p, 86 weight class) and Blake Westcutt (ranked 1031 p4p, 123 weight class). Westcutt has chosen Nick Nolan - Life of Sin 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!
