Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Patton (ranked 531 p4p, 82 weight class) and Graeme Symons (ranked 667 p4p, 102 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Patton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Barasuara - Api dan Lentera. Symons comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Can't Stop 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.
