Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Elwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igydo Dall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Elwood comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cube - Why We Thugs. Dall has chosen Blue Ice 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.
