Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between David Cummings (ranked 1043 p4p, 1268 weight class) and Jackson Alvarez (ranked 93 p4p, 115 weight class). Alvarez has chosen Juan Luis Guerra - Soldado as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
