Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brian Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lukas Hanak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanak has chosen Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal 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.
