Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Quessy (ranked 2516 p4p, 1830 weight class) and Koba Takanori (ranked 305 p4p, 241 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nazaire Chenevert (ranked 420 p4p, 1250 weight class) and Slugger Dunes (ranked 53 p4p, 166 weight class). Chenevert's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, A Milli. Dunes is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The World's Greatest. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
