Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne Jackson (ranked 1692 p4p, 937 weight class) and Tapu Koko (ranked 234 p4p, 132 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Undisputed Champion. Koko has chosen Aotearoa 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!
