Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Artem Ramazanov (ranked 1205 p4p, 3580 weight class) and Naoise Durnin (ranked 76 p4p, 169 weight class). Ramazanov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is All The Things She Said - t.A.T.u. Durnin has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston by The Dropkick Murphy's 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!
