Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Lambert George (ranked 19605 p4p, 690 weight class) and Jordin Tootoo (ranked 6337 p4p, 526 weight class). George comes into the arena with Ca fait mal blaring out of the sound system. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
