Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Putznaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iqbal Al Mamood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Putznaya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong. Al Mamood is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mamute Pequenino. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
