Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Ames (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xydorn Xanthopoulous Xvii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ames kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ludacris - Get Back. Xanthopoulous Xvii has chosen Grimlock - Bring The Pain 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!
