Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eli Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crowe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Angry Johnny & The Killbillies - Kill Again. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
