Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack McClusky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Wilhelm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClusky comes to the cage accompanied by I Stand Alone. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
