Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lazarus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barry Manilow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman - Metallica. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
