Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Cormier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaleb Spartan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cormier comes to the cage accompanied by Grafh - Knock'em Down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Spartan's choice of entrance music: Can't Hold Us - Macklemore. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
