Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Darren Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liam Minard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ''Run This Town'' by Jay-Z feat. Kanye West and Rihanna. Minard has chosen Walk as his entrance music. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
