Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Son (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Top Shottah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hoshin Hajo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Durden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hajo comes to the cage accompanied by Gypsy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Durden's choice of entrance music: ANIT NO REST FOR THE WICKED. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tyler Durden was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
