Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Dever (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ralek Gracie - Ginagi. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
