Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Galvao (ranked 1953 p4p, 291 weight class) and Kareem Dennis (ranked 1708 p4p, 258 weight class). Galvao comes to the cage accompanied by Kodaline - All I Want. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
