Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mills Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Dyrdek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Perry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Way I Am by Eminem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dyrdek's choice of entrance music: Dirty Girl. Rob Dyrdek acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
