Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between AJ McKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Shaw's choice of entrance music: Family Force 5 - Chainsaw. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
