Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Fontana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scott's entrance music is We Are One - 12 Stones. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fontana's choice of entrance music: Queensryche - Silent Lucidity. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
