Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Ximenes (ranked 4026 p4p, 5438 weight class) and Clark Zapata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zapata has chosen Alab ng Puso 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!
