Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Francisco Morales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffery Dahmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morales might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Delinquent Habits- Tres Deliquntes. Dahmer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 50 Cent - Animal. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
