There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toby Lamb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hoban Washburne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamb kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Saltwater. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hoban Washburne was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
