Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Risto Rautio (ranked 554 p4p, 76 weight class) and Philo Beddo (ranked 648 p4p, 90 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rautio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to mickey avalon. Beddo has chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeNtSPnvxWU&list=PL1CE5A4327AF04267&index=4 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
