Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Bellator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and NumbaOne Stunna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bellator's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, A Lesson Never Learned. Stunna is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bring The Pain. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
