Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diuk Livernon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Livernon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Disturbed- Overburdened. Drake has chosen Blitzkrieg Bop as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
