Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between El Jewpacabra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith has chosen Criminal Minded as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight!
