Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaise Lamont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamont's entrance music is Twisted Nerve. A fine choice. James has chosen Aerials as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
