Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Bronson (ranked 221 p4p, 174 weight class) and Kento Kawamata (ranked 36 p4p, 32 weight class). Bronson comes to the cage accompanied by Glass Candy.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Finnish Tax Payer (ranked 12 p4p, 35 weight class) and Renoa Gracie (ranked 3 p4p, 7 weight class). Tax Payer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Konala Cartelli - Mäkikotka. Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Apaga Mas Não Bate. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
