Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thai Bo king (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Paua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paua has chosen Bomberpilot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
