Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Edson Bidon Barbosa (ranked 42 p4p, 84 weight class) and Aishah Bin Sari (ranked 9 p4p, 14 weight class). Bin Sari has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
