Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russell Kairouz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Buchanan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kairouz's entrance music is Metallica - Seek and Destroy. A fine choice. Buchanan has chosen T.I. - Every Chance I Get as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
