Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ali's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, General Levy - Professional Ganja Smoker. 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!
