Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kazuo Hata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Rios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hata comes to the cage accompanied by Damian Marley - Welcome To Jamrock. Rios has chosen Their Law as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
