Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Grey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Petterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Coming Home by Alter Bridge. Petterson has chosen Can't Be Touched - Roy Jones 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 fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
