Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boyd Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Twist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Twist's choice of entrance music: Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
