Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pika Chu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Myron Echoes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chu comes to the cage accompanied by Gotta Catch Em All. Echoes has chosen 'Tractor Rape Chain' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
