Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randoff Back (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Benoit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Back comes to the cage accompanied by I am the Greatest!. Benoit has chosen New Noise as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
