Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Rocksteady (ranked 502 p4p, 870 weight class) and Alexander Borgia (ranked 61 p4p, 115 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rocksteady might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Red Right Hand. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
