Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Mvungi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fisher Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mvungi comes to the cage accompanied by Professor Jay ft. Ferooz - Nikusaidiaje?. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
