Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rian MacFarlane (ranked 2109 p4p, 260 weight class) and John Wayne Gracie (ranked 1279 p4p, 155 weight class). MacFarlane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Foggy Dew. Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thriller by Michael Jackson. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
