Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michael Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Solovyev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Marilyn Manson - Born Villain . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
