Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Glover (ranked 3361 p4p, 3894 weight class) and Mr Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glover has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
