Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Milton Blahyi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and RZ Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blahyi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cowards by American Head Charge. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
