Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Ellenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreago Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ellenberger comes to the cage accompanied by Guano Apes - Open Your Eyes. Silva has chosen 2 Chainz-Riot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
