Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sam Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royston McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Hell's Bells. McDonald has chosen Nicole - By Ash as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
