Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Bartlett (ranked 2903 p4p, 1095 weight class) and Ben Hamilton (ranked 193 p4p, 96 weight class). Bartlett comes to the ring accompanied by Dead Celebs X Biz. Hamilton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Synthesizer. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
