Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marvin Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taba Tabashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tabashi 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.
