Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nebojsa Mihattovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Pembelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mihattovic's entrance music is Geto Boys - Still. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pembelton's choice of entrance music: Hail Mary by Tupac. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
