Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zeus Zorrander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Arlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Arlovski's choice of entrance music: Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
