Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Axl Horn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomaz Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Horn's entrance music is Bill Murray - by Sweatshop Union. A fine choice. Taylor has chosen Taylor Gang as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
