Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Pep (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Veron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pep comes into the arena with Iron Theme Song (Here Comes The Boom - Nelly) blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Veron's choice of entrance music: Breathe - Prodigy. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
