I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Akoni Gray (ranked 7 p4p, 46 weight class) and Melek Taus (ranked 2 p4p, 8 weight class). Gray comes into the arena with Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier blaring out of the sound system. Taus has chosen I Am The Upsetter 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.
