Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ness Webster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuki Kobayashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Webster's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cinderella Man. Kobayashi has chosen Mars - The Bringer of War as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
