Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ric Flair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Guerrero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flair kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ric Flair Intro. Guerrero has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Kellly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Villa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Villa's choice of entrance music: Faint. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
