Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Donato Russo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwight Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac-The Uppercut. Grant is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Beanie (Mack B****). There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
