Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cassit Heiluu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Jeremy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heiluu's entrance music is Kerrankin Tarpeekseen. A fine choice. Jeremy has chosen I'm sexy and I know it by LMFAO as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ron Jeremy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
