Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Red Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rose might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rose Tattoo - Dropkick Murphys. Wolf has chosen Shawnee Sioux War Dance as his entrance music. 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!
