Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Lopez (ranked 211 p4p, 2969 weight class) and Damien Sepultra (ranked 5 p4p, 66 weight class). Lopez's entrance music is Bob Dylan - Hurricane. A fine choice. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
