Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Levan Revazshvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Sonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Revazshvili's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roy Jones - Can't be touched. Sonnen has chosen Scream Aim Fire 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.
