Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne Waters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and LA twotwo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waters's entrance music is 50 Cent - Ready for War. A fine choice. Star has chosen Drake ft. Lil Wayne - Unstoppable as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
