Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Drake (ranked 708 p4p, 620 weight class) and Jack Spratt (ranked 96 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Drake might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. Spratt comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Fit But You Know It 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.
