Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Manco Capac (ranked 326 p4p, 483 weight class) and Antonio Barbosa (ranked 41 p4p, 64 weight class). Capac's entrance music is Iggy Pop - The Passenger. A fine choice. Barbosa has chosen Eminem - Go to Sleep as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
