Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vince Borg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anders Tolborg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Because I Got High kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
