Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Jessiman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and byron dax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jessiman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Johnny Cash - God is Gonna Cut You Down. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
