Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valentin Taneyev (ranked 4 p4p, 65 weight class) and Anthony Ochoa (ranked 1 p4p, 13 weight class). Ochoa has chosen Gang Signs by The Game as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
