Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jean-Marc Mormeck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuya Shimizu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shimizu has chosen Lost Frequencies - Are You With Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
