Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Macho Martel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Badr Hari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
