Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Savaje Bebe Chai (ranked 3794 p4p, 2926 weight class) and Ty Vanorden (ranked 429 p4p, 355 weight class). Chai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Fight An African. Vanorden has chosen HOLY WATER 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!
