Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Bizarria (ranked 214 p4p, 30 weight class) and Ramses Xll (ranked 463 p4p, 70 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bizarria might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Arnaldo Antunes - Alta Noite. Xll is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kvelertak - Åpenbaring. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
