Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tat Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Chalmers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taylor comes to the cage accompanied by Im on my Level. Chalmers is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hash Pipe by Weezer. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
