Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Duscaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Hershey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duscaw's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "I am the Walrus" by The Beatles. Hershey has chosen Aztechnical as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
