Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nycky Downtime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ring Vinayagamoorthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Downtime's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bring It. Vinayagamoorthy comes into a darkened arena with his song building.

I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
