Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shogun Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Booby Von Trapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Kashmir. Von Trapp has chosen Smile - Tupac & Scarface as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
