Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mantak Garuda (ranked 105 p4p, 20 weight class) and Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 819 p4p, 128 weight class). Garuda comes to the cage accompanied by Djiin Djiin. The crowd seem to be enjoying Watson's choice of entrance music: Anarchy in the UK. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
