Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Gajewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyko comes to the cage accompanied by Kamaedzitca - Колазварl. Gajewski is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Stratosphere. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
