Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JD Wildstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bad Idea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wildstein's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bring It On. Idea has chosen Boss of All Bosses as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
