Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JAKE REDD (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). REDD has chosen We Will Rock You as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
