Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Altare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anatoliy Lapikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lapikov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - Hells Bells . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
