Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Son (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Top Shottah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Son kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're Going Down. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
