Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russell has chosen The Prodigy - Firestarter 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.
