Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Davis Marcus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angus McButticutty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marcus's entrance music is "Princes of the Universe," by Queen. A fine choice. McButticutty has chosen Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
