Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinji Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson comes to the cage accompanied by All In The Family. The crowd seem to be enjoying Silva's choice of entrance music: Blood And Thunder - Mastodon. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
