Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lucien Simoneau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simoneau comes to the cage accompanied by Dérangeant - Groovy Aardvark. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
