Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Pimpin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pimpin comes to the cage accompanied by I'm Destructive. Pimpin is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
