Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kalash Nikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jjared Hhart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Snoop Dogg - A Bitch I Knew . The crowd seem to be enjoying Hhart's choice of entrance music: head strong. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
