Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rampage Lokka (ranked 1743 p4p, 1106 weight class) and Mama Tosen (ranked 158 p4p, 101 weight class). Tosen has chosen Mother 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Bradley (ranked 374 p4p, 920 weight class) and Alexander Kuznetsov (ranked 47 p4p, 118 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
