Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kermit Earlandson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Earlandson's entrance music is the theme from titanic. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Speed's choice of entrance music: Limp Bizkit / Break Stuff. 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!
