Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Datsik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Datsik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Binge and purge by Clutch. Lewis has chosen Baby by Me as his entrance music. Jake Lewis will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
