Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kris Smyth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smyth might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Painkiller - Pendulum feat. Freestylers. Michaels has chosen Hillbilly Deluxe as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
