Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm Mason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Travis Browne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mason kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shook Ones Pt. II. Browne is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by UFC - Face the Pain. 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!
