Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aribert Heim (ranked 1552 p4p, 163 weight class) and Minoru Nakano (ranked 2078 p4p, 202 weight class). Nakano is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Great Muta Concerto. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
