Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Craig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Carlton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Craig's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Heat Seeking Ghost of Sex . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
