Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bing Ka Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moore comes to the cage accompanied by Frank Klepacki - March to doom. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wong's choice of entrance music: Aegukka. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
