Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mac Readen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paha Aasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aasi has chosen Aphrodite & Mickey Finn - Bad Ass as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
