Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Desmond Glass (ranked 52 p4p, 8 weight class) and Masa Sanada (ranked 142 p4p, 23 weight class). Glass's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
