Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Lennon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal The Prodigy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Potter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Potter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cherry Pie by Warrant. James comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Love the Cocaine kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
