Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yonglong Li (ranked 607 p4p, 88 weight class) and Khalid Mamedov (ranked 397 p4p, 63 weight class). Mamedov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shamhan Daldaev - Eto Kavkaz kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
