Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keegan Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Brow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Brow has chosen Mos Def - I aginst I as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Keegan Smith is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
