Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Buzynski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maxwell Jeremy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buzynski's entrance music is Wavin Flag by K'naan. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jeremy's choice of entrance music: Pantera - Walk. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
