Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivar Lodbrok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Greiner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritz Haarmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Hyatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
