Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Inyo Mahmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahmi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Burning Season. Moon has chosen Don't Get Lost In The Heaven as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
