Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eli Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Belmonte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crowe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angry Johnny & The Killbillies - Kill Again. Belmonte has chosen Los Lobos - Cancion Del Mariachi 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 prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
