Rock artist Erdem Genç served as cage-fight referee in his second music video, 'Bedeni Mahvet.' Genç will hold the Motivasyon album launch concert on Tuesday, 26 March 2019.

Rock artist Erdem Genç, who recently followed his debut album and video 'Motivasyon' with a second video for the song 'Bedeni Mahvet,' this time speaks from behind iron bars. In the cage fight refereed by Genç, the beautiful actresses on hand showed off their skills to the lyrics. In the video, where Erdem Genç's custom-designed microphone catches the eye, the musicians also keep pace with the song's driving rhythm.

Before the shoot at a kickboxing gym in Sarıyer, the Russian models took punching and striking lessons from champion trainers Aygün Kutlu and Fehmi Ergüven. The models then stepped into the cage and showed off all their skills for the artist. The winner of the fierce bout was revealed at the end of the video.

During filming, Özgür Güngör, who also directed the video, played the guitars. Cem Yetiz served as director of photography, while Görkem Genç and Burak Altan handled the behind-the-scenes footage.
