Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Randy Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael MacRoberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying MacRoberts's choice of entrance music: Pretty Vacant by The Sex Pistols. MacRoberts has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
