Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Scott Levin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Currie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Currie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Helmet - Just Another Victim. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
