Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oakley Bark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bark has chosen RUN DMC its like that as his entrance music. Bark has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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!
