Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rullo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimincio Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Symphony X - The Serpent's Kiss . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
