Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominic Fauatea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coleman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Got Money. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
