Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Antipov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernandez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Danza kuduro. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
