Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Grace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franco Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomez has chosen Bad Motherfucker as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Franco Gomez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between CJ Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Shadow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richards's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Three Six Mafia - It's a fight. Shadow has chosen Can't Be Touched 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.
